Used to be hundreds of moves like this a day. Nice to see good old time railroading.

COMPLETELY AGREE!

Glad to see that business is still an active customer.

Which predecessor milepost is that?  The line includes bits and pieces of the DL&W, NYC (West Shore) and NYO&W trackage.

West Shore

Art,
MP 233 would be the Westshore mile post.
At that point the train has left the DL&W north - south main and is on the Westshore east - west main.
To get to the Oneida Warehouse you get on the O&W north-south main and pass O&W mile post 272. (miles from Weehawken, NJ)

The connector off the old DL&W is MP 283.47, the actual diamond was about MP 283.4. (miles from Hoboken)

I'm glad to see the crossing was flagged before boarding the car... I have to rememeber the recent incident with the crewman that was killed by a motorist as he was riding the end of the car across a crossing.

That was a cool video!

Nicely done. Thank you for posting it.
